Now, Disco Dancer is not a great film, for sure. Some might consider it an unintentional success. That said, there are many factors going for it. First, it's one of the many films starring Mithun Chakraborty, and it wholly rests on his presence, and it was quite a presence. Chakraborty, a talented, trained actor from Bengal, found a niche in countless Hindi romantic action films during the 1980s. He was perhaps the most prolific Indian actor of the decade. Most of these films were not considered of the highest order (not that mainstream Hindi cinema was very good in this era to begin with), but they were entertaining, and even though the skilled actor was not given true, challenging material in most of them, they let him exhibit his explosive charisma, distinctive dancing skills, which included some trademark moves, and a highly relatable screen persona which many young men identified with and imitated.
Disco Dancer, a sort of rags-to-riches dance film, where a young man from a poor neighbourhood becomes an overnight star, was one of the early films which shot him to fame and was followed by several films that followed a similar star fomula. The film did well not only in India but elsewhere, and became not only for Chakraborty's memorable turn but for its catchy music by Bappi Lahiri which was, by the way, not very original. The "Jimmy Jimmy" track is, for all its unoriginality, so catchy. My personal favourite is actually Lahiri's own rendition of "Yaad Aa Raha Hai". As a film, Disco Dancer is fun - it flows well and entertains and just as it might be a guilty pleasure for many, I wouldn't be surprised if some considered it one of their favourites. The film, despite some poor writing and some absurdities here and there, just works. It's twisted and a little cheesy but ultimately a nice watch, which must hold great nostalgic value today for many.

Hi All,
This is a breath taking piece of work as it is probably the strangest and funniest film I have ever seen. Although I suspect this was not the intention of the film. This is late night after the pub stuff. Just laugh your way through it. the big guitar disco dance number near the end is so absurd that you will wet yourself from laughing. The guy who reviewed it is absolutely on the money in his comments. But it is impossible to really relate how nuts it is. With extra mirror balls and disco dancers that spring up out of nowhere. A Killing guitar (literally it kills). Unhappy Indian disco dancing punters that take out their frustrations by throwing sandals- whats it all about?
Cheers

This movie earned Rs 113 .20 crore at the worldwide box office. The movie had some flaws like each and every movie. It has a good storyline.
Great Songs , music and dance performances.
Direction is good. The only problem is its editing.
It had great climax scene. Acting wise Mithun, Om Puri and Om Shiv Puri were excellent and rest are good.
It was the first Indian movie to enter into 100 crore club.
A must watch movie before you die.

I gave this movie 10 out of 10 after strong and long consideration. The matter is - that I have seen it lately... again... I have laughed all my way through it, and the same time I felt very much nostalgic. I was about to give it 3 or 4 out of 10, but ... It was like I was laughing at my innocence or naiveness. By than, in 80-th, in USSR I watched this movie 12 times. I can not remember any other title I have seen so many times. I always cried. All the second part I was crying my heart out even when I watched it for 12-th time. Everything was so vivid, so alive... I believed in every word, every gesture, every move. And I was in love with the actor or it would be more precise to say with Jimmy. There is definitely something in that movie! And I feel so much pity that now I am too adolescent and cynic to see it any more.
This is the incredibly silly story of a heroic Disco Dancer and his mother trying to restore their good name and defeat the evil Disco Dancer and his rich, evil father. The evil Disco Dancer has a goofy Freddy Mercury mustache and rips off the 80's song Video Killed the Radio Star. The good Disco Dancer snaps his fingers when he fights like an extra from West Side Story. The main bad guy employs that big goofy looking bearded white guy who was in so many Indian movies of the era as a heavy. The musical numbers are the reason to show up - they are frequent and hilarious.
I definitely recommend this movie. Very goofy stuff, great singing and dancing, mega-retarded plot. My girlfriend, who generally can't stand silly movies, had the "I am Disco Dancer" song stuck in her head for a week. Go crazy!
